Memorial Day Weekend Fun!

We had a pretty quick work week with dad in Wichita Tues - Thurs.  Thankfully Maci was a pretty good girl and Connor was my usual chill boy!  On Tuesday we had Connor's follow up Dr apt post finding out he is allergic to Cats and Milk.  Fortunately the new $$spendy formula seems to be helping but Mr Milo is officially up for grabs.  If we don't find a home by this Thursday, he will be taken to the animal humane society.  A good friend of mine is the HR director and assures me she will watch him and ensure he goes to a great home.  Fortunately our humane society has a really quick turn around rate and cats take on average 3 days to be adopted.  In addition, they charge us $50 to help cover costs for vet care, food, liter etc while he is there.  As long as he does not have a life threatening disease or become ill tempered, he will wait out his adoption.  We feel bad for Mr Milo but I feel even worse trapping him in a basement until we get this figured out.

Ok so back to our week - Connor had good days at daycare and was glad to be away from cat dander.

Friday - Finally it was the long awaited long weekend!!!  Clint got home late Thursday night and Maci was up with me watching The Sound of Music.  Her usual horrible bedtime routine keeps up and we got her to go down around 11p - UGH!  Clint had Friday off and I just had to drag my butt through one more day of hopefully getting lots done.  Unfortunately I had a few things pop up and didn't get as much quiet, get things done time as I had hoped for but it made for a fast day.  After work, I met the family at swim lessons.  This week was safety week and the kids had to swim in a wet t-shirt to get use to the feel of "falling" into water.  We had a good time laughing at the girls and saying this was their first "wet t-shirt contest" and when they had to pour water over their mouths, well that looked like drinking games. . . .give it a few years I hope before this comes true :)



After swim, we attempted to go to Pizza Luce since it was rainy, the Cassem's have a cat and our basement is barricaded with our cat right now.  The wait was insane and we finally blew it off and did Pizza Rev instead followed by some Yogurt Lab - Yum!

Saturday - Gym followed by brunch.  We then did some lazy stuff around the house since it was a rainy Saturday.  This was not Maci's best day as we attempted to do dinner/grocery as a family.  Maci proceeded to pee her pants in the kid's car grocery cart, splashed in said pee and then ran around the store SCREAMING when we told her no candy for peeing in the car. . . 1 year of being potty trained - what the hell?!  Clint had to manage both kids and clean the cart while I checked out acting like I didn't know that awful, loud child.  UGH - here is to a better day!  At least she went to bed at 8p. . . that is Maci with NO naps.

Sunday - Wahoo sun and fun!  We decided to haul the kids to the MN zoo since we haven't been in a while and keep going to the smaller Como option.  Maci was a really good girl and took a nap in the car both too and from, thank God!  Connor loved riding on mom and Maci enjoyed some sing along group during a very busy day at the Zoo.

After the zoo we came home to rest up and then went out back to play a bit while waiting on pizza.  Maci had fun chatting up our neighbor Karoline's ear while she did yard work and Connor was excited to try out the "baby" swing for the first time.
Monday - Thank you Veterans!!!  We LOVE our Holiday Weekends!  Today we hit up our favorite man made beach/lake.  It is a beach but with chlorinated water so Maci likes it since it isn't full of bugs etc.  She was SO excited to go to the beach and packed her own bag of toys.  Connor on the other hand mainly napped in the shade.



We got home a little over an hour ago and since have been finishing up some yard work/errands for the weekend.  I am about to check over some work to get ready for the week ahead and Maci is playing in the backyard.  All in all we had a great weekend, exhausting at times but wouldn't change it for the world!!  We love making our family memories and are excited for the summer ahead!

Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
